What is one thing everyone wants more of?

Nachos! No, wait, actually it’s time.

But we all want nachos too. That’s why today I’m sharing this sheet pan nachos recipe that is easy to make AND includes your slow cooker. Win win.

Sheet Pan Loaded Chicken Nachos

First, prepare your chicken. We are going to cook all of the chicken in the slow cooker – you can make it in the morning before you go to work or while you are cleaning and prepping other foods before guests arrive.

This slow cooker chicken is so flavorful and easy to make.

Fire-roasted tomatoes, chipotle chilis, and green chilis really give it great flavor and they make it the perfect meat for your nachos. This mixture has so much flavor that there is no need to add taco seasoning mix.

Once your chicken is done cooking, shred it with two forks and mix the chicken and the sauce really well.

Then pull out a large sheet pan and place some parchment paper on top of it. Pour tortilla chips in an even layer onto the pan. Sprinkle cheese on top of the chips and add black beans.  Then use a slotted spoon to put the shredded chicken on top of the cheese.

Layer more cheese, black beans, and chicken on top. Place the sheet pan in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts.

Then pile on the toppings. Seriously, pile them on because these are loaded nachos. Add:

• avocado slices
• guacamole
• jalapeños
• green onion
• lettuce
• tomatoes
• sour cream
• anything else you like!
